chapter 14

He ended the call and pushed Elsa against the wall. His gaze fixed at her as he asked, “Why do you call me like that Elsa? What do you exactly mean? What do you wish for?" “I wish for you, Nevile." she silently whispered. Elsa abruptly put her arms around his neck and silently kissed him. Both their lips were pressed against each other. It was eternal an eternal feeling. She didn't want it to end, Nevile wanted it to continue. The air was filled with an aura of love. It was a kiss both tender and inexperienced. Neville hadn't closed his eyes, but he watched her intently. She didn't close hers either, her bright watery eyes gazed right back at him. That was when Nevile noticed something shocking. Elsa's eyes looked remarkable, those eyes looked like someone's, someone familiar back then. Elsa kissed him for a moment. When she got no reaction from him, she pulled away and gave up, turning to leave. But just then Nevile tightened his arm around her waist. He pulled her slender body directly into his embrace. His overwhelming masculine presence, surrounded her as he bent down and kissed her deeply. ... Back at the club Elena sat at the counter with her assistant, Mr. Davis De Souza. Davis asked, “Elena isn't Mr. Lobo coming tonight?" Elena started feeling suspicious, during their earlier phone call Nevile's voice seemed suspicious. Looked like he was with someone. She directly called Xavier and asked him, “Xavier? Are you with Nevile tonight." Xavier replied, “no I didn't recieve a call from him since a long time." Elena grew even more suspicious. If not Xavier then he is definately with a woman, and that woman would be none other than Elsa. Elena guessed. Elena clenched her fists tightly as she realized that Nevile was with Elsa, as when she called him earlier she felt that a woman had whispered from behind. She was connecting the dots. “Elsa!" But her mood quickly shifted and she broke into a bright smile. Turning to Davis she said, “Can you help me get a little something?" Davis was puzzled and asked, “What kind of something?" Elena's red lips curved into a smirk as she uttered a single word, ‛coital’. ... In the villa's bathroom Elsa's legs grew weak under Nevile's kisses, she almost collapsed on the floor. Nevile wrapped his strong arms around her steadying her. Elsa blushed badly, making her face turn red. Just then a string of notifications came on Nevile's phone, it was Elena's video call. Nevile glanced at Elsa and accepted the video call. Elena was sitting at the bar counter worth a glass of alcohol with her. Her radiant smile lit up the screen as she asked, “Nev is Elsa with you? She was drugged, was't she?" Nevile didn't respond. Elena simply held up a small packet, of powder, then poured it into her drink, and drowned it in one go, as Nevile watched, helplessly. Nevile frowned, “Elena what did you just drink?" Elena's smile dazzled amidst the dark dim lights, of the  pub, “se**** stimulant." Elsa shuddered after hearing this. She hadn't expected Elena to drug herself. Nevile's handsome face darkened. His voice was cold as he shouted, “Elena!" At that moment a tall attractive man approached Elena, at the bar and tried to strike up a conversation between them. “Hey gorgeous, would you like me to buy you a drink?" Elena gestured towards the video chat, pointing at Nevile and told the man, “ This is my boyfriend, but if he doesn't show up in another 30 minutes, then, I am all yours tonight." The man raised an eyebrow intrigued. Nevile's tone turned dark, “Elena what do you think you are doing? tonight!" Elena's expression tightened, with bold eyes, full of confidence, “Nev, you need to choose, any one woman, me or Elsa! You can only have one woman in your life." With that Elena ended the video call. Nevile's expression darkened he gritted his teeth, he was angry. “Nevile you can have only one woman in your life. Either me or Elsa" “mom you can have only one child. Either me or Elsa." These similar repetitive phrases rang in Elsa's mind like a curse, leaving her stunned. It was like a deja vu.  She sometimes wondered why she was born. She couldn't figure out wheather she was hurt or she was okay. The warmth of Nevile's presence suddenly vanished. He let go of her and stepped away. He looked at her, cupped her face in his hands, and sadly said, “Elsa you won't be alone, tell me what kind of man you wish for, I'll get the dange type for you. You can have two." Elsa froze, after listening these words. Elsa's ears buzzed as she thought of this. What had she done to deserve this treatment. Nevile left the villa without hesitation. Elsa's heart pounded she felt weak, her heart had broken, she could no longer endure the pain. As she saw Nevile leave in his damp wet suit, she cried. “Don't leave me Nevile! As it is I took care of you for 3 long years! It was Elena who left you, and now you choose her over me." She sighed helplessly. Hearing this Nevile turned, looked at her, with deep remorse in his eyes, he didn't know what he felt. It was like a deep connection, fading between them. He came closer to get and handed her an eight figured cheque, which was soaked in the water but intact (plastic coated) she was shocked. “This is our divorce settlement Elsa, I can't live without Elena. I love her not you. I got to go fast before that man gets his hands on her." Nevile walked out. Elsa heard these words, those stung to her like bee sting, the venom of it burning. Her heart being sore of of all the words she heard. “Am I not good enough? What less do I have?" By the time these words escape her mouth, Nevile had left. Nevile first went to his villa changed into clean clothes and then rushed to the club where Elena had called him.
